Add a new ares_library_init_mem() initialization function for the
library which allows the library user to specify their own malloc,
realloc & free equivalents for use library-wide.
Store these function pointers in library-wide global variables,
defaulting to libc's malloc(), realloc() and free().
Change all calls to malloc, realloc and free to use the function pointer
instead. Also ensure that ares_strdup() is always available
(even if the local environment includes strdup(3)), and change the
library code to always use it.
Convert calls to calloc() to use ares_malloc() + memset
check for ssize_t to make it possible to use that when receiving the send()
error code. This is necessary to prevent compiler warnings on some systems.
- Made configure create config.h, and all source files now include setup.h that
might include the proper config.h (or a handicrafted alternative).
- Switched to 'ares_socket_t' type for sockets in ares, since Windows don't
use 'int' for that.
- automake-ified and libool-ified c-ares. Now it builds libcares as a shared
lib on most platforms if wanted. (This bloated the size of the release
archive with another 200K!)
- Makefile.am now uses Makefile.inc for the c sources, h headers and man
pages, to make it easier for other makefiles to use the exact same set of
files.
- Adjusted 'maketgz' to use the new automake magic when building distribution
archives.
